[IMissPresidentReagan]

AND NOW . . . amidst billowing clouds of fragrant, aromatic first- and second-hand premium cigar smoke. . . it is time for . . . that harmless, lovable little fuzz ball, the highly-trained broadcast specialist, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, from behind the golden EIB microphone, firmly ensconced in the prestigious Attila-the-Hun chair at the Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies, serving humanity simply by showing up, and he’s not retiring until every American agrees with him, do NOT doubt him, with shrieks of joy at the mere mention of his name (that’s Rush, for those in Rio Linda),the Mandarin of Talk Radio, with talent on loan from G-d, at the cutting-edge of societal evolution, with half his brain tied behind his back — just to make it fair, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling, all-concerned Maha-Rushie! America’s anchorman, truth detector, and doctor of democracy. A Real Man, a living legend, a way of life. Commander in Chief of U.S. Operation Chaos. Chief Waga-Waga El Rushbo of the El Conservo Tribe. Chief of the Patriotism Police. Leader of the Conservative Movement. A Weapon of Mass Instruction. El Rushbo (a little Spanish lingo, there). He is the man who is running America (you know it and I know it). He knows the Democrats like every square inch of his glorious naked body. He is ready to do what he was born to do—that’s host. Get ready to what you were born to do—that’s listen (and post your comments on the Rush Limbaugh LIVE Radio Thread).

We love to hear Rush Limbaugh,
Excellence in Broadcasting.
From sea to shining sea,
Millions and millions listen.
Conservative voice of freedom,
Heard throughout all America.
A message pure and truthful,
The downhearted are encouraged.
Integrity and honesty his motto.
We love you, Rush.
Listen to Rush Limbaugh.
G-d Bless you, Rush Limbaugh.

But, but, but by Bawnee Fwank’s own logic, do we (i.e. the citizen/taxpayer) not own our Congressperson/Senator? We should fire them!!!! Immediately!!!!!

AIG= Arrogance, Incompetence and Greed. Phhhhhht!

Maybe the upside down nature of all of this is due to the lack of sun spots. There has to be some explanation.

[AliVeritas]

AAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH! Those POS’s on the hill should be strung up!

[Roccus]

Glad he added that “...first time around.”

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Exactly! ROFL!!

Rush has really struck gold with his Obama Teleprompter jokes.

[Fawn]

What does that mean?

[hattend]

There has to be some explanation.

A lack of gridlock in DC because of a Dem House, Senate and President.

It's like having the mob in charge.

Thank me, thank me very much...

WASHINGTON -- Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen was just a few paragraphs into an address at a St. Patrick's Day celebration at the White House when he realized something sounded way too familiar. Turns out, he was repeating the speech President Barack Obama had just given.

Cowen was set to speak twice at the White House on Tuesday night because there were two different parties going on at the executive mansion. No matter -- he would give the same speech to the two different audiences.

But Cowen was 20 seconds into his second address when it dawned on him that he was giving word for word the speech that Obama had just read from the same teleprompter.

Cowen stopped and looked back at the president to say, "That's your speech."

Obama laughed and returned to the podium to offer what might have been Cowen's remarks. In doing so, President Obama thanked President Obama for inviting everyone over.

Earlier, the president claimed an Irish ancestry to Ireland's leader and joked to Congress that his genealogy could have helped him as a once-unknown Chicago politician.

Meanwhile over at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac:

Fannie Mae is due to pay retention bonuses of as much $470,000 to $611,000 this year to some executives despite enormous losses at the government-backed mortgage company. Fannie’s main rival, Freddie Mac, also plans to pay such bonuses but hasn’t yet provided details. Fannie’s bonuses are smaller than ones paid by American International Group Inc. that have caused a political firestorm for that company. Many AIG executives got retention payments of more than $1 million recently. But the Fannie bonuses are still considerable and come at a time when Fannie and Freddie are receiving increasing amounts of funding from the Treasury. For 2008, Fannie and Freddie reported combined losses of about $108 billion, largely stemming from a surge in home-mortgage defaults. The U.S. Treasury has agreed to provide as much as $200 billion of capital apiece to Fannie and Freddie in exchange for senior preferred stock. The two companies already have said they will need a combined $60 billion of that money to cover their losses so far.

Bonuses Expected at Fannie, Freddie

[Roccus]

Whatsamatter Rush? Don’t you understand, he only enherited it.

[hattend]

Remember these soundbites that Rush is playing.

You’re going to hear the exact same words tonight on Leno’s show and the audience will be going wild.

How many FReepers can get into the studio and ask about his birf certificate...LOL!!!

[advertising guy]

amazing how the ole cliche ....”are you gonna believe me or your liein eyes” comes home to roost huh

new tag

[AliVeritas]

Damn you Rush, stop preaching capitalism and free markets!

[RSmithOpt]

And Zer0 Senator received the second highest amount of AIG political kickback (political contributions). Geesssh!! Think the LSM will ever mention this? 0 is full of it. Liddy is a handpicked scapegoat like RUSH said!

I can’t remember the name of the movie...but I am going to post this anyway. There was an early 90s movie, with a computer/robot thingy...named ‘Number Five.’ When (surprise) the gov’t tried to get the rogue robot back into line...the ‘bot’s response was ‘non to disassemble number five.’ I am waiting for a TofUS meltdown like that ;)
